I had to walk away. On the one hand he says that we will have access to insurance for SERIOUS INJURY. In the next breath he talks about everyone being required to have "basic health coverage" which is NOT the same as serious injury insurance.

Then he says there will be a hardship exemption. Yeah I know how that works.

I detect a tad bit of scolding towards his "progressive friends." f*ck you. Remember whose feet and knuckles were calloused walking neighborhoods and knocking on doors to get you elected, Mr. President.
